Helping women 50+ simplify nutrition and fitness for hormone health and fat loss

25/10/2025

If you’ve been dealing with gut issues for years and everyone keeps telling you it’s “IBS,” “stress,” or “normal”… read this closely.

Chronic bloating, constipation, explosive diarrhea (yep, we’re going there), pain after meals, or feeling 6 months pregnant at 6pm is not normal.

Pain isn’t normal.

Bloating that makes your embarrassed to leave the house isn’t normal.

Living in fear of food isn’t normal.

And you are NOT dramatic for wanting answers.

The truth is this:
• Generic labs miss things
• Colonoscopies only look at structure, not function
• Doctors won’t always test microbiome imbalances, pathogens, or digestive markers
• Symptoms get dismissed because “your labs look fine”

But if your symptoms persist?
Your body is trying to tell you something.

Advanced gut-health testing is how we uncover the root cause, not just slap a label on your symptoms.

Because once you know exactly why your digestion isn’t working…
you can finally fix it.

✨ If you’re tired of guessing, restricting food, and crying in bathrooms (been there), comment GUT and I’ll send you the details on the testing we use and the support we provide to get real answers and real relief.

Your gut isn’t supposed to ruin your life.
Let’s fix it. 🫶

It’s wild how much better you can feel when you stop ignoring what your body is whispering… (right before it starts screaming).

For years, I woke up exhausted, bloated, puffy, and chalked it up to “midlife.”

My friends felt the same, so I thought it was normal.
It wasn’t.

Those symptoms were messages:
Fatigue was stress.
Bloating was gut dysfunction.
Skin issues were inflammation.

Once I finally paid attention, ran the right labs, and made targeted changes, everything shifted.

More energy.
Better digestion.
Clearer head.
Less frustration with food.

Because thriving isn’t about pushing harder… it’s about understanding why your body feels the way it does.

And if your symptoms are getting louder?
That’s your cue to stop guessing.

💫 I have just a few spots opening for 1:1 coaching starting in October.

This is where we dig into hormones, gut health, nutrition, and muscle so weight loss finally becomes possible.

Want better gut health, balanced hormones, and smoother digestion?
Start with fiber.

Fiber isn’t just about “being regular.”
It helps with appetite, blood sugar, cholesterol, estrogen detox, and overall metabolic health.

Most women only get about half of what they actually need, and then wonder why they’re bloated, constipated, or always craving sugar.

Aim for 25–35g a day, but make it simple with these foods 👇
My Top 10 High-Fiber Foods
🌿 Artichoke (1 medium = 7g) – Roast it or toss the hearts on a salad.
🥦 Brussels sprouts (1 cup = 4g) – Shred and sauté with olive oil and balsamic.
🍐 Pear (1 = 5g) – Slice with a little almond butter for an afternoon snack.
🍓 Raspberries (1 cup = 8g) – Add to Greek yogurt or oatmeal.
🫘 Beans (½ cup = 7.5g) – Mix into chili, tacos, or salads.
🥑 Avocado (½ = 5g) – Smash on toast or add to eggs.
🌱 Chia seeds (1 oz = 10.5g) – Stir into oats or blend into smoothies.
🍎 Apple (1 = 4g) – Keep it simple — great paired with string cheese.
🍠 Sweet potato (1 = 4g) – Bake, air fry, or mash with a drizzle of olive oil.
🥣 Oats (½ cup = 4g) – Classic breakfast that never fails.

4 Tips for Fiber That Actually Works for Your Gut
1️⃣ Go slow. If you jump from 5g to 35g overnight, you’re going to feel it. Add a few grams at a time.
2️⃣ Hydrate. Fiber without water is like cement in your gut. Aim for half your body weight (lbs) in ounces daily.
3️⃣ Mix your sources. Don’t just rely on one food. Different fibers feed different bacteria. Variety = better gut health.
4️⃣ Chew your food. Digestion starts in your mouth. Slow down. It helps everything move better.

If you’re still dealing with bloating, pain, or IBS-type symptoms, or taking supplements that you think should be helping but aren’t…
It’s time to dig deeper.

Or maybe you’ve already stopped trying to figure it out?

It’s not just menopause or aging. There are measurable hormonal and metabolic shifts driving these symptoms, and understanding them is key to solving the problem.

1️⃣ Estrogen decline
Lower estrogen shifts fat storage toward the lower belly and affects neurotransmitters, affecting focus, memory, and mood.

2️⃣ Progesterone drop
This hormone regulates sleep and stress. When it falls, sleep quality suffers and stress responses intensify, fueling fatigue and fat storage.

3️⃣ Cortisol dysregulation
High or mis-timed cortisol disrupts insulin sensitivity, increases abdominal fat, and contributes to brain fog. Chronic stress makes it so much worse.

4️⃣ Testosterone decline
Reduced testosterone decreases muscle mass, slows metabolism, and lowers energy. Maintaining and building muscle is the key to offset these changes.

5️⃣ Thyroid function
Even if TSH looks “normal,” low T3 or impaired conversion in the liver reduces metabolic rate and energy. Without adequate support, calorie burn and fat loss suffer.

6️⃣ Liver overload
The liver metabolizes estrogen, cortisol, and other hormones. If it’s stressed, through excess fat, alcohol, inflammation, or poor diet, hormone clearance is impaired, disrupting fat loss and energy balance.

The reality: Fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn belly fat are signals that your hormones and metabolism need targeted support.

This is exactly what we address in my coaching and advanced hormone testing.

We go beyond guesswork to pinpoint what’s happening inside your body and implement strategies that actually work for sustainable fat loss and improved energy.

You have tried everything and still can’t lose more than a few pounds.

You eat well and you’re exercising, but your body refuses to cooperate.

And you’re left wondering…what the heck am I doing wrong?

The answer isn’t inside of an app, counting points, or even asking ChatGPT. The answer is inside your body.

Our 1:1 clients aren’t looking for a meal plan and a check list.

They want a leader, a detective, and a guide to help them fully understand what their body is trying to tell them.

We don’t sell supplements.
We don’t do cookie cutter plans

You want a team to uncover why weight loss hasn’t been working.

You want a plan that’s sustainable.
You want a system that works for your real life.

This is exactly what 1:1 coaching delivers.

You work with an expert, a guide, and a partner to align what’s happening inside your body so your results last and you can lead yourself for life.

Cortisol isn’t the enemy.
It’s essential for energy, focus, and metabolism. The problem? Timing and balance.

✅ Ideally, cortisol peaks in the morning and drops at night. That’s what gives you energy to wake up, move, and tackle your day.

If your morning cortisol is low, coffee becomes a crutch, and you still feel drained.
If you make enough cortisol at the right times, but your body can’t clear it (my personal struggle), you feel flat, exhausted, and everything from workouts, to meals, and even date nights, feels harder.

Weight loss isn’t just about “lowering cortisol.” You don’t even know what your cortisol is doing.
It’s about getting it in the right rhythm for YOU.

This is exactly what we do together. We test, we analyze, we get to the root of your cortisol and hormone imbalances so your body can finally start releasing that stubborn weight.
